Farley allowed a run-scoring double to Griffin Miller before striking out Dylan Grant on four pitches to notch the save.
Miller had the Skyhawks only two hits, one of which was his run-scoring double in the seventh that brought the Skyhawks to within two, 5-3.
Chapmanville plated three runs in the second as Farley singled to right scoring Adam Mullins for the first run of the contest. Topping followed with a single to center to plate Talan Thompson and Farley to give Chapmanville a 3-0 lead after two innings.
Scott answered with a run in the bottom of the third when Luke Knight scored an error to cut Chapmanville’s lead to 3-1 after three innings.
Chapmanville tacked on a run in the fifth when Will Kirkendall’s single scored Trey Butcher to give Chapmanville a 4-1 lead after five.

Scott saw its three-game winning streak snapped and fell to 5-10 with the loss. The Skyhawks are 2-10 this season in games decided by two runs or less.
Chapmanville improves to 9-6 with the win and sweeps the season series with Scott. The two teams could potentially meet for a third time in the Class AA Region 4 Section 2 tournament.
